CLIMATE activist group Ocean Rebellion staged a heavy metal concert outside the Deep Sea Mining Summit in London’s Canary Wharf on Wednesday.

Recently, the UN International Seabed Authority awarded licences to mine up to 9,000 sq km of deep seabed at a time. 

Miners search for mineral chunks in the deep sea known as manganese nodules, which can be used for “green” battery technology among other things.
